Got bombshell?: If I've gotta be single...

If I've gotta be single...

I'll just keep lots of attractive young boyfriends.
This has always been my mantra. It's been going okay, the past couple of years. My "boyfriends" (I use the term loosley, they are more like my pets) are always at least two years younger than I am, and are typically very cute. Look, if it's not about love, they just need to be pretty. Right? And they are.
But, here's the thing. Suddenly, I find myself having to compete with like, 20-year-old girls. What? I don't know if they have always been around and I have just more successfully ignored them, or if they really are starting to be more and more aggressive. Whatev. Really, they don't stand a chance. But I'd just rather not have to school these poor little girls into low self esteem. Because as much as I don't want to be "the other woman," I don't have a problem stealing their boyfriends.

Pet peeves

The expression "kick (my, your, his, her) trash." You've probably NEVER heard that if you aren't mo. It's akin to "kick (my, your, his, her) butt."
Songs that tell a story (esp. ones that start and end with the same sentence, usually of the country genre)
the phrase "as per usual"
that Nicholas Cage Still has a career, should have ended after "Raising Arizona"
the question "what can I do you for?"
the glare of the sun off cars in mid-day
tights with open-toed shoes
cell phones in public
mis-uses of the words 'there,' 'their,' 'they're' (and similar grammatical errors)
counting new $1 bills
